Remember, Ese Walter? she was the lady who, exposed her affair with Abuja based Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, of COZA, because she was been troubled by her conscience.

YOUR FREQUENT SUPPORT FOR WOMEN
MUST HAVE EARNED YOU A WHOLE LOT OF
FEMALE ATTENTION. YOU GOT MARRIED
RECENTLY. WAS IT HARD PICKING A WIFE?
The process of meeting the right woman was
quite tiring and sometimes painful. But when
I got past the process, I made my choice
quickly. I looked at a number of things
before picking a wife – from the external and
internal qualities, to the woman who can
follow me on my journey. I can even say the
process took up to eight years, but when I
was through with the process, the decision
was instant.

YOU GOT MARRIED TO THE LADY WHO
EXPOSED WHAT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS
THE ROT IN A POPULAR ABUJA CHURCH.
WHEN SHE MADE THE REVELATION OF HER
REGRET OVER THE AFFAIR WITH THE
POPULAR PASTOR, HOW DID THE PEOPLE
AROUND YOU REACT WHEN YOU PICKED
HER AS YOUR WIFE?
Amazingly, the people around us were
supportive and understanding. It was some
outsiders who were not privy to a whole lot
of stuff that were making some kind of
remarks. But the truth is, we were just
friends when she told me about what
happened. I was pained and hurt because
here was a man who I held in high esteem. I
only told her to do what she had to do
because she felt like she was enslaved by
something she didn’t have control over. And
when she tried to reach out for disclosure
that would have led to her healing, she was
treated badly by some people who sent the
message that some person is untouchable. I
can tell you that she reached out not once
or twice. In the end, she did what she did for
her peace of mind and to encourage others
who are in a similar situation. She opened
up not because she is the boldest person;
she knew that she was taking a big risk. But
she opened up because she is someone who
has a conscience and will not stand for
something wrong. Her making that bold
move endeared her to me. When she came
out with the truth, I believed her, having
heard the same story two or three times
from other women. When she spoke out, she
was attacked. But I believe that with her
simple act of speaking the truth, she not
only liberated herself but also other women
in a similar situation.
NOW THAT YOU ARE MARRIED, WHAT ARE
YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS?
Some people describe marriage as settling
down. But I don’t agree with that assertion
because an individual ought to be settled
before getting into marriage. For me, getting
married is starting the journey to the
fulfillment of what God created me for. My
purpose is to promote love, hope and faith
among the people around me. There is a
whole lot of abuse going on in relationships
with the women at the receiving end.
And it is not supposed to be so. This is why
we all have to spread the message of love
until we heal many relationships. So, the
hope I have for my union with a woman I
love so much, a woman who is a sweet
companion to me is that we will reach out to
men and women promoting the right values
for a good marriage. I cannot change
everybody but I am going to spark up the
thought that marriage should be enjoyed and
it should be the vehicle to the fulfillment of
life’s purpose.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING, WHAT ARE
THE THINGS YOU LOVE DOING?
These days, I spend my spare time with my
wife chatting and playing. We share ideas
because we both write. There are a whole lot
of things we have in the kitty. We hope to
stage a reality show. I also run a PR firm
and I am into events. So, I am always busy
with how to make life meaningful for others
and me.
